as a moeshitter I gotta disagree, otherwise every CGDCT anime would be considered yuri.
Its less they are considered Yuri, but more that there will always be a yuri bating element to these stories and they will always draw a massive Yuri fandom on both sides of the pond, regardless of how gay or not gay the story is. That just seems to be where we are culturally at this point. Some stories will keep it merely as light subtext, others will be just make it straight up canon, and many more will fall somewhere in-between.
 
Ended up finishing blood on the tracks the ending felt anti climatic personally for me but atleast it didnt end with him killing himself or pulling a murder-suicide. Does anyone have something like it but it ends on a happy note cus i am too much of a wussy for bitter endings.
 
I began watching Gaiking 2005, and I'm really enjoying it so far -- the seeds of an interesting storyline are being planted, there's lots of hot-blooded action, and the characters are good -- but I wanted to share this funny little interaction:

Incidental double post:

Apparently the Netflix One Piece adaptation is...good!?

If you're not into One Piece yourself, it's actually a fun experience. If you are, you'll notice how shit it is in many aspects. Honestly, I'd say it's in the middle, but definitely very bad in some aspects. That said, those said aspects require you to be into One Piece, so any casual watching this won't mind it.

Several times in my life I have tried to get into One Piece, and it is only after watching this live action adaptation that it's worked.

Currently I am on Episode 174 of One Piece. The adaptation covers up to Episode 45. From my POV the adaptation does an acceptable job of capturing the feel of the anime. Especially when you compare it to other live action adaptations of anime.

Obviously its not going to be 1 for 1 or close to perfect, but for what it is it's an enjoyable ~8 hours of footage.

Lol good luck. Eventually you'll get to the island where they split up and the citizens dramatically tell them that one of their crewmembers was killed but won't say who and strings you along like that for like five episodes before it's revealed that the crewmember wasn't killed, it's just them not phrasing things right and being literal dramatic bitches for no good reason.

I recommend going for the manga honestly, it's surprisingly a quick read than it looks. Seriously, I started reading around 945-960 & read it all in a week, hell, I completed Arlong Arc under 8 hours, & I didn't even speed-read it.

The anime does have 1-2 good fillers, but it's a chore to go through at times, compared to the manga. I also recommend watching the anime scenes after you read on YT for more effect & impact.
Unfortunately there's more people into One Piece than Cowboy Bebop. Though the Cowboy Bebop adaptation had some good parts, like Jet, Ein and the music, the rest was real bad for the ones that love the anime.
Funny part is, this One Piece live action is made by the same production company behind Cowboy Bebop live-action. It's like Oda essentially tard-wrangled the motherfucker out of this one to keep it non-retarded like the Cowboy Bebop one was under Netflix. This show actually has some of those Netflix-isms too, like the multiple blackwashings, the best side-character of the entire series Koby being played a by a FTM tranny, etc. But it's still not a bad watch.

This is how I feel about it exactly. As far as anime adaptions go, it'd pretty damn good. But compared to the manga/anime? It's pretty lackluster and not worth the time if you're already a One Piece fan. It's a shame they have to cut so much too, though it's understandable since they had to convert 100 chapters of material into about eight hours.

I missed watching this bag eyed, anti-social girl and I’m proud to say that I’m going to be rewatching WataMote from the beginning tonight. If anything, I remember not finishing it the first time around and now I’m making up for that.

Plus, from what I remembered of watching it, the ending theme was both catchy and creative:
